Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

To authenticate with the API the SecretKey parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

using Novu;
using Novu.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;

var sdk = new NovuSDK(secretKey: "YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE");

var res = await sdk.TriggerAsync(triggerEventRequestDto: new TriggerEventRequestDto() {
    WorkflowId = "workflow_identifier",
    Payload = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "comment_id", "string" },
        { "post", new Dictionary<string, object>() {
            { "text", "string" },
        } },
    },
    Overrides = new Overrides() {},
    To = To.CreateStr(
        "SUBSCRIBER_ID"
    ),
});

Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply pass a RetryConfig to the call:

using Novu;
using Novu.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;

var sdk = new NovuSDK(secretKey: "YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE");

var res = await sdk.TriggerAsync(
    retryConfig: new RetryConfig(
        strategy: RetryConfig.RetryStrategy.BACKOFF,
        backoff: new BackoffStrategy(
            initialIntervalMs: 1L,
            maxIntervalMs: 50L,
            maxElapsedTimeMs: 100L,
            exponent: 1.1
        ),
        retryConnectionErrors: false
    ),
    triggerEventRequestDto: new TriggerEventRequestDto() {
        WorkflowId = "workflow_identifier",
        Payload = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
            { "comment_id", "string" },
            { "post", new Dictionary<string, object>() {
                { "text", "string" },
            } },
        },
        Overrides = new Overrides() {},
        To = To.CreateStr(
            "SUBSCRIBER_ID"
        ),
    }
);

// handle response

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can use the RetryConfig optional parameter when intitializing the SDK:

using Novu;
using Novu.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;

var sdk = new NovuSDK(
    retryConfig: new RetryConfig(
        strategy: RetryConfig.RetryStrategy.BACKOFF,
        backoff: new BackoffStrategy(
            initialIntervalMs: 1L,
            maxIntervalMs: 50L,
            maxElapsedTimeMs: 100L,
            exponent: 1.1
        ),
        retryConnectionErrors: false
    ),
    secretKey: "YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE"
);

var res = await sdk.TriggerAsync(triggerEventRequestDto: new TriggerEventRequestDto() {
    WorkflowId = "workflow_identifier",
    Payload = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "comment_id", "string" },
        { "post", new Dictionary<string, object>() {
            { "text", "string" },
        } },
    },
    Overrides = new Overrides() {},
    To = To.CreateStr(
        "SUBSCRIBER_ID"
    ),
});

Error Handling

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or throw an exception.

By default, an API error will raise a Novu.Models.Errors.APIException exception, which has the following properties:

When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also throw their associated exceptions. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the TriggerAsync method throws the following exceptions:

Example

using Novu;
using Novu.Models.Components;
using Novu.Models.Errors;
using System.Collections.Generic;

var sdk = new NovuSDK(secretKey: "YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE");

try
{
    var res = await sdk.TriggerAsync(triggerEventRequestDto: new TriggerEventRequestDto() {
        WorkflowId = "workflow_identifier",
        Payload = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
            { "comment_id", "string" },
            { "post", new Dictionary<string, object>() {
                { "text", "string" },
            } },
        },
        Overrides = new Overrides() {},
        To = To.CreateStr(
            "SUBSCRIBER_ID"
        ),
    });

    // handle response
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    if (ex is PayloadValidationExceptionDto)
    {
        // Handle exception data
        throw;
    }
    else if (ex is ErrorDto)
    {
        // Handle exception data
        throw;
    }
    else if (ex is ErrorDto)
    {
        // Handle exception data
        throw;
    }
    else if (ex is ValidationErrorDto)
    {
        // Handle exception data
        throw;
    }
    else if (ex is ErrorDto)
    {
        // Handle exception data
        throw;
    }
    else if (ex is Novu.Models.Errors.APIException)
    {
        // Handle default exception
        throw;
    }
}

Server Selection

Select Server by Index

You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the serverIndex: int optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the indexes associated with the available servers:

Example

using Novu;
using Novu.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;

var sdk = new NovuSDK(
    serverIndex: 1,
    secretKey: "YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE"
);

var res = await sdk.TriggerAsync(triggerEventRequestDto: new TriggerEventRequestDto() {
    WorkflowId = "workflow_identifier",
    Payload = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "comment_id", "string" },
        { "post", new Dictionary<string, object>() {
            { "text", "string" },
        } },
    },
    Overrides = new Overrides() {},
    To = To.CreateStr(
        "SUBSCRIBER_ID"
    ),
});

// handle response

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverUrl: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

using Novu;
using Novu.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;

var sdk = new NovuSDK(
    serverUrl: "https://eu.api.novu.co",
    secretKey: "YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE"
);

var res = await sdk.TriggerAsync(triggerEventRequestDto: new TriggerEventRequestDto() {
    WorkflowId = "workflow_identifier",
    Payload = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "comment_id", "string" },
        { "post", new Dictionary<string, object>() {
            { "text", "string" },
        } },
    },
    Overrides = new Overrides() {},
    To = To.CreateStr(
        "SUBSCRIBER_ID"
    ),
});
